Samuel Dale Brownback, the second term running Governor of Kansas grew up in a modest environment and aspired to lead his hometown someday. In 2010, his dream came true when he was elected as the 46th Governor of Kansas. He outwitted the Democratic representative, Tom Holland in the 2010 general election, by almost double the votes Tom received.

He went on to be the incumbent winner of the 2014 elections with a marginal edge over Democrat, Paul Davis. Since he comes from a meek dwelling he has emphasised on the importance of hard-work, responsibility and teamwork throughout his term as Governor. The modesty of his parents, as they continue to be farmers, despite their son being the state chief executive, in a nutshell sums up the values he has imbibed from them. He hasvoiced his opinion in favour of procreation, terming himself pro-life and as governor has banned sex-selection abortions and opposes same-sex marriages.

Some of his opinions haven’t gone down well with many sections of society and his statements have led him into quite a few controversies. Though a major part of his career has been wound around various government offices. He used to practice law and is a licensed attorney.
